WEAK MEDICINE.

How comforting is sentiment
If we could but apply it:
A maxim for an accident,
10 keep halting by it
A proverb in the hour Of woe,
A philosophic plaster
A wordy poultice men bestow
To ease sore disaster.
But for the ills which we endure
In life's unhappy phases,
We don't discover much of cure
In captivating phrases.
Such pleasant fallacy affords
Some interest to fiction,
But something's needed more thai
words
To ease a sore atlliction.

Mexican Scenery.

General Jackson, ex minister to
Mexico, says: "The scenery Of
Mexico exceeds anything in the
world that has ever come un.ler my
observation, either on this CONT
nent or in Europe. The city of
Mexico is 1900 feet above the level
Of the sea. It is in what is Called
the cold country. Next to it, to.
ward the gulf, is the temperate
country, and from there one passes
into the hot country. Tho country
about Jalapa was pronounced by
Humboldt the garden spot Of the
world. 1t lis distinguish ed from all
other grand and beautiful scenery
in the world by the fact that at the
foot of Mount Orizava there reigns
perpetual summer, while the noun
tain itself rises into the region of
eternal snow. [ have seen the
mountains Of Switzerland, but |
never saw one that thought CON-
parable in grandeur and beauty to
Orizava. I have watched upon an
orange tree the development OF the
fruit from the bud, through the
blossom, to the ripe orange, there
in the very sight Of the snow,cov-
cred mountains. have drunk ice
wafer flowing from Orizaya, and at
the same time had in reach splen'
did ripe pine-appIes.
